Prats of The Week - Eggcellent!

Time for another of my prestigious and internationally renowned "Prats of The Week" Award.

This week it goes to the good people of "The Happy Egg Company", who sell eggs.

Can you guess what they have done children?

Yes, that's right, they have printed on their egg boxes (which have their name, a picture of an egg and a cartoon chicken) the following wording:

"allergy advice: contains egg" (inside the lid of the boxes).

Now, aside from the bleeding obvious nature of the contents of the boxes from the outside labelling, by printing it on the inside were anyone with an egg allergy moronic enough to buy this product they would become aware of said contents when they opened the box anyway (observing that it contained eggs).

However, as if that were not enough evidence to show that this company is run by simpletons, there is one additional factoid that I need to convey to you.

Some people employed by such companies manage to take stupidity to the next level!!

Sadly though, in our current "sue 'em" culture, if they hadn't put such an obvious warning on their product and some idiot had a reaction to it, the so called victim would have got loadsamoney from the company.

What these people that sue at a drop of a hat don't realise is that although they may get a couple of quid compo, the lawyers will make alot more....In the end, these ambulance chasers and the chavs that use them, cost us all dear, in terms of higher insurance costs and in terms of mental health, by us having to put up with silly things, such as the aforementioned warning on the box of eggs.

Precisely, which is why I hereby propose that a warning be printed on every Nowinnofee Lawist, on their firms, on their pets and on their pet's pet's pets:

Warning, may contain bullets, knives, poison and traces of blunt instruments. Produced under conditions free from morals, principles or standards.

I was speaking to the proprietor of my local chip shop about crazy legislation, when he said "let me show you something", and went into the store room. He brought out a large cardboard box from the freezer. The label said "Plaice Fillets, Net weight 5kg", and the suppliers details.

"The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible

reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed."
